The boring thread.....

[Mups]

Good afternoon all.   Its been bright and sunny here,  but cooler.

One of my dogs has got a bit of a problem with her water works at the mo,  so is on meds which I have to extract from the bottle with a special syringe which fits the nozzle of the bottle.

The other day when I walked into the kitchen I saw her in her bed with bits that looked like shredded paper,  but on picking it all up I realised it was bits of rigid plastic - and then I saw what had happened!
I had washed the syringe and put it the worktop by the back door to dry,  but the wind had blown in the door and blew the syringe onto the floor,  whereupon Gertie had found it and nicked it. Luckily for her, this syringe doesn't use a needle with it.

I've got loads of syringes for measuring different things  e.g. Lif's meds, houseplant fertilisers, etc,   but none of them fit the special nozzle on Gertie's medicine.
So that is why I am waffling on about this,  because I have spent the whole morning trying to locate these special syringes,  even phoning the manufacturers,  and finally got three spares.

Gertie is a compulsive thief, and hoarder of stolen goods, always has been,  but we still love 'em to bits,  don't we.

Have you thought of just having a goldfish Mups? They are not very cuddly I know and apparently have very limited attention span, but they are grief free.

just having a bold fish

I tried to find a picture of the inside of a pike's mouth so I could make a smart arse comment about that typo but guess what not one of the pictures I found were close to how damned scary that looks. They are truly monsters. Caught one once and there was another fish inside looking out of that one way street.

Taking of typos

It  comes to something when you make the same typo so many times that the bloody phone offers it as an alternative when you manage to get it right  which just happened to me

The stuff I do on autopilot..

Christmas card arrived from somebody I'd forgotten. Panic. Cards out may as do the diminishing set of neighbours - only one left now. Set out with cards and bags for supermarket with eye on the clouds. Up to the post box put the wrong card in. No stamp addressed to Paddy.

Hey ho. Just written another now. Wonder if Paddy will be puzzled why she got two from me this year

Below freezing all day so far and very misty

Been below freezing all day so far with about 30-40 yards, which I guess qualifies as fog

I have a cold...and only a woman who has delivered a baby without an epidural can truly understand the pain I am going through.
I am thinking that I might need the last rites just in case...pray for me.

Oh dear,   that's the last thing you need just before the big move.
Hope it doesn't get too bad, Vlad,  or we might have to come and rub you down with some Vick.

I love it when you talk dirty Mups.
